  8. Caldwell Co. Marriage Bonds, Book A, Chittendnen Lyon to Francis B. Jones, 10 Sep 1829, register date is 10 Sep 1829, but return shows "...this day of Sep 1830," with the day left blank, and the year overwritten so it is unclear. I am assuming the return was filed much later than the ceremony, and the minister confused the date.
